There's a lot to know about shooting in and around vehicles. It's probably not considered normal for departments because rounds, especially 9mm, will be deflected off a few degrees upon impact in many cases. The times I have shot through a windshield in training, aiming center mass was putting rounds in the shoulders.
We had our local swat team training at camp blanding and off hand was included. The SF guys had a great time with them and the swat team really had a blast.No, I wouldn’t say it’s “normal”. Necessary, yes.
We’ve never trained for it nor have I heard of any agency/dept train for it.

I've seen videos of this before and it makes sense that shooting from the outside into a windshield would cause the point of impact to rise after passing thru. So I guess shooting from the other direction, inside the car outwards, would lower the point of impact?

Kind of opposite. As the tip of the hits the glass from the inside it causes the heavier back side of the bullet to tumble upward.9MM will slightly rise shooting from outside to inside of a windshield. The windshield is angled up, so the bullet will rise.
Vice versa.

If it strikes glass from the outside the heavier backside of the bullet tumbles down ward.
This is of course talking about the front windshield. The angle of incident determines the angle of deflection.
Or so I have been told, lol
I am like a stopped clock.

That was simply astounding. As a private citizen, I would have wanted him to break off pursuit as soon as initial shots fired. The danger level to civilians during that incident was through the roof, both from the chase AND from bullets (from perp and cop).
